Frequently Asked Questions - AMS-4424P Luxul

How do I access the web management interface of the AMS-4424P?

Connect your computer to the switch via Ethernet, then enter the default IP address 192.168.0.4 in your browser. Use username admin and password admin to log in.

What is the PoE budget of the AMS-4424P?

The total PoE budget is 250W across all PoE+ ports (1-24), with a maximum of 25.5W per port.

Can I use 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules in the expansion slots?

Yes, the two expansion slots support both 1 Gigabit SFP and 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules, allowing for high-speed stacking or uplinks.

How do I reset the switch to factory default settings?

With the switch powered on, press and hold the Reset button for about 8 seconds until both the Link/Act and PoE LEDs turn off, then release. The switch will restore defaults and reboot.

What should I do if my network uses a different IP subnet than 192.168.0.x?

Set your computer to a temporary static IP in the 192.168.0.x range (e.g., 192.168.0.10) and gateway to 192.168.0.4. After configuring the switch, revert your computer to DHCP.

How can I tell if a port is supplying PoE power?

Press the Mode/Reset button to toggle the port LEDs between Link/Activity and PoE status. When in PoE mode, a green LED indicates the port is delivering power, yellow indicates a fault or power limit exceeded.

What type of Ethernet cable should I use for 1000 Mbps?

Luxul recommends at least CAT5e UTP cabling, but for the best performance and stable 1000 Mbps operation, use CAT6 UTP cables.

Does the AMS-4424P support VLANs and stacking?

Yes, it is an L2/L3 managed switch that supports VLANs, Spanning Tree, and stacking via the SFP+ ports. Detailed setup is in the Quick Setup Guide at Luxul.com.

Why are the port LEDs not lit immediately after powering on?

This is normal. The switch performs an initialization and startup sequence that takes a few moments. The port LEDs will light after the process completes.

How do I mount the AMS-4424P in a rack?

Attach the included mounting ears to each side of the switch using the screws provided. Then secure the switch in a standard 19-inch rack with LEDs facing outward.

26-Port Gigabit Stackable PoE+ L2/L3 Managed Switch

AMS-4424P

Includes:

26-Port/24-port PoE+ Switch
Rack Mount Kit
Rubber Feet
Power Cord

INSTALLATION AND SETUP

1 Physical Installation

The AMS-4424P can easily be installed in a standard 19" rack. Two mounting ears are included for installing and stabilizing the switch. When attaching the mounting ears and installing the switch in a rack, please refer to the following illustration:

Rack-Mounting the AMS-4424P

▶Use the included screws to attach the mounting ears to each side of the switch.

▶Mount the switch in the rack with the LEDs facing outwards. Be sure the switch is level and properly secured in the rack.

Desktop Setup

For use as a desktop device, position and apply the included rubber feet to the bottom of the AMS-4424P.

2 Connecting Ethernet and Power

Ethernet and Power Connections

Use one of the 26 Ethernet ports to connect the AMS-4424P to any Ethernet-enabled device, including servers, routers or other switches.

No crossover cable is necessary.

The AMS-4424P supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10/100 Mbps half/full-duplex mode and 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. Ports 1-24 are PoE+ and are enabled by default. Ports 25 and 26 are Gigabit Ethernet only (non PoE).

Use the included power cable to connect the AMS-4424P to a surge-protected outlet. The AC input socket is on the rear panel. The built-in power supply supports 100\~240VAC at 50/60Hz.

Network Cabling

Luxul recommends at least Cat-5e unshielded twisted pair (CAT5e UTP) cabling. To ensure best performance and stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps, use Category-6 unshielded twisted pair (CAT6 UTP).

CAUTION: Multiple Uplink channels can create loops, resulting in network failure. Ensure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the AMS-4424P and a router.

NOTE: When powering up, the port LEDs may take a moment to initialize. This is normal as the AMS-4424P initialization and startup sequence completes.

NOTE: The AMS-4424P has an internal 250W power supply. Do not exceed 25.5W each or 250W combined consumption of all external PoE devices.

Preparing for Access

IP Addressing

If the AMS-4424P is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X address scheme, and your computer shares a similar address on the same network, you can skip to the next step, Access and Setup

Note: If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.4 address, you'll need to temporarily reassign or remove that device while you configure the AMS-4424P.

If your network uses an address scheme other than 192.168.0.X, you'll need to set a temporary static IP address on the computer you're using for configuration. To do so, set the IP address of your computer to an address in the 192.168.0.X range, then set the Gateway/Router address to 192.168.0.4 (the default IP address of the AMS-4424P).

Once you're finished configuring the switch, you can return your computer's IP configuration to normal, typically "Obtain Automatically/DHCP."

Note: Visit http://luxul.com/ip-addressing to learn more about changing your computer's IP address and getting connected.

Access and Setup

Getting Connected

Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the AMS-4424P, then power on the switch.

Logging In

To access the AMS-4424P web configuration, open your web browser and enter the switch's default 192.168.0.4 IP address in the address field. Log in to the switch using the default user name and password:

Default IP: 192.168.0.4

Username: admin

Password: admin

Select the menu items on the left to view and/or modify the configuration.

Refer to the Quick Setup Guide at Luxul.com for more detailed information on setup, IP configuration and routing, PoE, VLANs, Spanning Tree, and Stacking.

Hardware Operation

Front Panel

The front panel of the AMS-4424P Switch includes dual colored Link/Activity LEDs that can be switched from green to blue. In addition, the front panel has Link/Activity and PoE mode indicators as well as System and Power LEDs.

AMS-4424P Front Panel View

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the AMS-4424P Switch includes 1 console port, 24 Gigabit RJ-45 Ports and 2 optical expansion ports that accommodate both 1 Gigabit SFP and 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules (for stacking), as well as LED indicators for each port. Each Gigabit port has one Link/Activity/PoE LED. A push button switch with an LED indicator switches the display between Link/Activity and PoE.

LED Indicators

The LED indicators on the AMS-4424P include System, Link/Act and PoE LEDs, and an LED for each port. These LED indicators show the operating status of the AMS-4424P and each port connection.

Mode/Reset Button to Change LED Functionality

Tapping the Mode/Reset button briefly switches the port indicator between displaying port link speed and PoE status.

The following chart shows the LED indicators of the AMS-4424P along with an explanation of the indicator's properties:

Indicator Name	Description
System	Green Flashing Indicates normal operation.
	Green On Indicates a malfunction. Contact support.
	Red On	Indicates power-on system initialization.
	Off	Indicates startup/initialization process or that power is not on.
Port Link/Act Status 1-26	Green	1000Mbps device connected to the port.
	Yellow	10/100Mbps device connected to the port.
	Flashing	Port receiving or transmitting data.
	Off	Nothing connected to the port.
Port PoE Status 1-24	Green	Switch is providing PoE power to a device.
	Yellow	PoE is off due to a fault or because the connected device is exceeding power limit.
	Off	Port disconnected or link failed.

Note: At startup, the port LEDs will flash briefly during a self-test.

Mode/Reset Button to Reset/Restore

The Reset button (located at the lower-left corner of the front panel) is used to reset (reboot) the switch, or to restore the switch to factory default settings.

To Reboot/Reset the Switch: With the AMS-4424P powered on, press the Reset button for approximately three seconds until the Link/Act and PoE LEDs both light, then release the button.

CAUTION: Do not hold the button for more than four seconds. Doing so could erase all settings and restore factory defaults.

To Restore Default Settings: With the AMS-4424P powered on, press and hold the Reset button approximately eight seconds, until both the Link/Act and PoE LEDs turn off, then release the Reset button and the switch automatically restores factory default settings and reboots. Once the System LED starts flashing again, the AMS-4424P is running with factory defaults.

CAUTION: Please note that restoring Default Settings will remove any/all custom configuration.
